How to prepare for your glamour portrait...
Glamour photography is tastefully done photographs of a woman. We leave it up to
the customer as to how revealing the photographs will be. Although these pictures
are usually done for a woman’s significant other, male clients may also wish to
choose this service.
Due to the personal nature of this service, we limit the examples of this type of
photography on our website. We respect the privacy of our customers. Yours is
guaranteed as well.
The photo sessions are done in our home-based studio. A typical session lasts about
60 minutes once the actual shooting starts.
Glamour Tips
Please plan on doing your makeup prior to your arrival. Put on makeup as though
you are going out for a fancy evening. This is generally heavier than your usual
"look", and will usually appear light and natural under the studio lighting.
Use a bit more foundation than normal, carefully blending it from your face down
to your upper body. If you plan to wear something revealing, you do not want your
face to be one color and your upper body another color.
Avoid overdoing it at the tanning salon prior to a photo session. You may burn or
freckles may become more prominent. Tanning lotions may cause your skin to appear
splotchy when makeup is applied.
Eye shadow should be a lighter color rather than darker to bring your eyes forward.
Blush and lip color should be heavier than usual. Blush should be evenly blended and
lip color should be a shade darker than usual avoiding light colors and especially
anything that looks frosted.
Most importantly, use enough powder for a matte finish. You should have a solid
foundation of powder. This matte finish is very important to avoid shiny reflections
of the lights, called hotspots.
You will have an opportunity to touch it up and make small corrections prior to
starting the session.Wear loose fitting clothing to the session. Tight elastic
panties, bras, panty hose, and socks will leave clothing marks that may show in the
photographs. We recommend arriving in clothing like a loose sundress, or old sweats
(without tight elastic waist bands).
We assume that you will bring your own costumes/clothing.
Bring the tallest heels that you have in a variety of colors (black, white,
and red for example).
If you’re not sure what to wear, consider some of the following:
- An evening dress & high heels
- His uniform or favorite shirt
- A tux shirt with black studs and black cuff-links
- A tux bowtie
- A body stocking
- Strings of different colored beads
- A leather jacket
- A vest
- Cutoffs
- A bath towel with wet hair
- Silk boxer shorts
- A T-shirt
- Anything thin, transparent or translucent
- Halloween costumes
- Anything fishnet (tops, stockings etc)
- Artificial flower petals or leaves
- A mini skirt
- An off-the-shoulder top
- A tank top which is either too tight, cut-off too much or both
- Sunglasses
- Scarves
- Lingerie
- Stockings
- Anything unusual or outfits that you would never wear outside
- Many of the above and other unusual clothing items are available for
purchase or rental at costume and formal-wear stores.
For boudoir portraits, leg openings in panties and other items should a
high cut style, French cut, to make your legs appear longer and more attractive.
Be sure to bring matching jewelry, shoes, and accessories for any outfits. As with
clothing, bring any props which have special meaning.
Examples might include special jewelry received as gifts, sports equipment, or
unusual accessories. If these photographs are for somebody special, think about
their likes and dislikes and hobbies for ideas on what to bring.
